Character Information

Character Canon: JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion
Character Name: Makalaurë "Maglor" Canafinwë
Character Canonpoint: end of the Third Age (that is to say, the end of the Lord of the Rings, as Elrond, Galadriel, Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf sail West on the White Ship)
Character Age: older than the moon and sun which makes it hard to guess age BUT As an estimate, he's roughly 3000 by the end of the Silmarillion (First Age). Second Age lasted 3441 years, Frodo sails 3012 of the Third Age. So... 9400+?
Character Appearance in Game: Tall (~6'5") slender (lean rather than bulky), dark haired and grey eyed. On first glance he looks to be in his late 20s/early 30s, but his eyes will betray him. He wears his hair long and loose and has pointy ears. Also, he glows, most visibly in his eyes. He has nasty, nasty old burn scars on his hands, right worse than left, which should be far more contracted than they are (and also should be far more HEALED than they are)

Link to Character Abilities or Powers:
Racial abilities:
(1) functionally immortal - as in, don't die of age, and not, can't be killed
(2) Elves are faster, stronger and hardier than Men, and they heal faster too. This is not 100% proof, as canon has at least one instance where a Man could bear armor that an Elf could not. Also this means they can survive on surprisingly little food & water for a surprisingly long time!
(3) Elves have unusually good eyesight and hearing - this is pretty variable, but generally an Elf can see further & hear more than a typical human
(4) Elves like talking to things - all the things - and it is strongly implied that they get some sort of answer, although I imagine it isn't speech that they get in return but... impressions maybe. Who hears what will depend on the Elf in question - Maglor, I suspect, hears the Sea loud and clear, and all Elves hear the stars.
(5) Elves glow. Literally. Yes, like a night light.
(6) Elves are very light-footed - this does include the whole 'walk on snow' thing, but it also means that if an Elf doesn't want to be tracked, he or she won't be, unless it's by another elf - again I imagine some are better at this than others (Wood Elves like Legolas, for example, probably find Noldor like Maglor hilariously clumsy and easy to track). They are said in canon to be quieter than even the Hobbits when they walk.
(7) Elves can read minds. Sort of.
(8) Elves don't need sleep. Ok this is not entirely accurate, because they DO, they just... don't quite do it like other races do. They apparently have the ability to essentially create a waking dream-like state where they can walk and probably talk (although I wouldn't get them to, say, sew or anything needing fine motor control) while meditating on ~*beautiful things*~ and this is almost as good as sleep for them, allowing them to go days without actually needing shut-eye.
ODD THINGS MAGLOR SPECIFICALLY CAN PROBABLY DO:
(9) Tolkien's world was created by Song. Therefore, it follows that one may USE Song to affect the world. Maglor is stated to be canonically the second best bard in existence. I suspect, that at the very LEAST he can influence emotion with his music, and at the extreme, do things that are ~*magic*~. Like put people to sleep (see: Luthien) and fight epic rap battles with music (see: Finrod) as well as break towers (see: Galadriel) and raise rivers (see: Elrond)
(10) Generally, Elven music is described as drawing the images to mind and lingering there, even if you had no clue what the words meant - I actually think this is related to the mind reading bit, so you could probably block said images out, if you wanted

Character Personality (3 Strengths, 2 Weaknesses):
3 Strengths:
Loyal (fanatically so, almost) to his kin and friends
(Comparatively) level headed (refused to go on a suicidal rescue mission and kept his brothers from doing the same, stayed on good terms with the rest of the family despite... Issues.)
Very fond of children

2 Weakness:
Stubborn & Proud (almost insanely so) - swore a terrible oath and kept said oath, even despite all the things wrong with it and that it led him to. See: Loyal.
Has a nasty temper and a tendency to see revenge served not so much cold as indefinitely

Bonus? Uh. Mass Murderer.
